Lucy let out a huff. “We can have one or two. I can’t let the woman dictate my life, after all.”
Linc stopped beneath a flowering Dogwood tree and took both of her hands. “Did I tell you that I feel like the luckiest son of bitch in the whole damn world?”
“No, I don’t believe you did.”
“Well, I am.”
“I feel beyond fortunate, too.” She stepped closer. “You are more than I ever hoped to find.”
“Same.”
“I’m ready for my surprise now.”
Okay, close your eyes.”
“Do I have to?”
“Yes.”
Doing as he asked, she snapped her eyes shut and allowed him to lead her along the path. When he stopped, she popped her eyes open and gasped. “Linc, it’s perfect.”
“Zane gave me a heads up.” He pulled her against his side. “His and hers garden tubs.”
She stepped forward and ran her hand over the gleaming porcelain. “I can’t wait to christen these.”
“Desmond is out of town for the next couple of days, so we could take our first soak tonight.”
She returned to his side and took his hand. “Let’s save it for tomorrow. I have a lovely meal prepared. Would you like to come over and…?”
“Yes! One hundred percent yes.”
He wrapped his arm around her and hustled her toward the front of the house. “You can come by later. I have to change and get my glam on.”
“Not necessary,” he replied as he kept up the pace. “I like this version of you.”
She shook her head. “I can’t properly seduce you if my hair is going in ten different directions, my lady bits are covered by cotton, and….”
“Believe me, Lucy, I’m already seduced and ready for our reconciliation to commence.”
“Alright, if you insist.”
“I do!”
She stopped in front of her car and felt him press his body close. “Oh, you really are ready.” Shifting her hips, she pulled him down for a kiss and heard a car horn honk. Lifting her head, she saw Felicia drive by and shake her finger.
Maybe this wasn’t the best street for them, after all.
Linc was doing his level best to keep things sweet. He wanted their reunion to be marked by tenderness and love, but damn if he could pull it off. Every muscle in his body was vibrating, and he didn’t know how long he would be able to hold back.
“If you don’t get the show on the road, I will have to reconsider this love and fidelity thing.”
“I was trying to be thoughtful and kind.”
Lucy looked up and placed her hands against the headboard. “I insist that you stop.”
Dropping his head, he thanked his lucky stars and drove into her welcoming heat. Every single nerve in his body was thrumming and pulsing. He wanted to devour her and show her in some small way that she was everything.
Seeing a tear slip down Lucy’s face stopped him cold. “I get so lost in you. Are you okay?”
